Why Mobile Document Shredding?

We specialise in mobile document destruction shredding. This means we come to you with our mobile shredding vehicles and shred your confidential documents ON SITE.

Individuals and businesses have a range of options to choose from when disposing of their confidential documents. Many people still dispose of their confidential documents through general waste bins or recycling bins. This comes with a great deal of risk and if any confidential information was to end up on the wrong hands you can incur fines of up to $1.7million for a breach of the Privacy Act 2012.

Other options are to have your confidential documents stored in a locked cupboard, storage unit or bin before being shredded. Many people still shred their confidential documents themselves but this comes with its challenges and limitations.

Hiring a professional mobile document destruction company like us for your shredding needs, is rapidly becoming a compulsory service for all businesses and even individuals. One option is to have your documents taken off-site to be sorted by teams of people into different grades before being shredded.

The newest and most secure method of secure document destruction is to have your documents shredded in a mobile document shredding truck on site, at your premises where not a single document leaves your business or home in a readable form. This means total security and peace of mind.

In a city like Toronto, which has a similar size population to Melbourne, there would be 100+ mobile document shredding vehicles driving around servicing clients.
